PASS-Key II

Your vehicle is equipped

with the PASS

-Key II

(Personalized Automotive

Security System)

theft

-deterrent system.

PASS

-Key II is a passive

theft

-deterrent system.

It works when you insert

or remove the key from

the ignition.

PASS

-Key II uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key

that matches a decoder in your vehicle.

When the PASS

-Key II system senses that someone is

using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and

fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter won’t

work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If someone tries to

start your vehicle again or uses another key during this

time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone

from randomly trying different keys with different resistor

pellets in an attempt to make a match.

The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s

inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start. If the

engine does not start and the SECURITY light is on, the

key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.

Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try

again. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears

to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try

another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to

check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the

Index). If the starter won’t work with the other key, your

vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first

ignition key may be faulty. See your dealer or a

locksmith who can service the PASS

-Key II.

If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or

missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work and the

SECURITY light will come on. But you don’t have to

wait three minutes before trying another ignition key.

See your dealer or a locksmith who can service the

PASS

-Key II to have a new key made.

If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes

on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine

if you turn it off. Your PASS

-Key II system, however,

is not working properly and must be serviced by your

dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the

PASS

-Key II system.

If you lose or damage a PASS

-Key II ignition key, see

your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS

-Key II

to have a new key made. Also, see “Roadside

Assistance” in the Index for more information.
